Abstract

A generally elliptical dental bracket (10) is disclosed having a hemispherically shaped gingival tie wing (40) and hemispherically shaped occlusal tie wing (50) separated by an archwire slot (30). The bracket is aligned with the crown long axis to that the archwire slot is parallel with the occlusal plane. The overall shape of the bracket creates patient comfort, bracket strength and ease of manufacture.
